Carson City Sheriff's Office to conduct alcohol compliance check
This Friday, March 16 the Carson City Sheriff’s Office will conduct an alcohol compliance check. Minor decoys will be sent into local businesses in Carson City that serve alcohol. The decoys will attempt to purchase alcohol, using their real identification.
We will be focusing on businesses checking identification properly and denying the sale of alcohol to minors.
A common mistake people make is not calculating the age correctly when checking identifications.
Please remember is you serve or sell alcohol, the person getting the alcohol must be born on or before the day of the purchase in 1997, making them 21 years old. Our goal is to have 100 percent compliance and have no alcohol be sold to our decoys.
We want our town’s youth to remain safe and sober over St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
These checks are designed to help keep our juveniles safe and businesses in compliance with county and state laws. Any questions, please contact Deputy Jarrod Adams at jadams@carson.org.
